Background: Glidescope® video laryngoscope (GVL) is widely used in tracheal intubation. However, no studies have been conducted to compare the GVL and Macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDL) for intubation in patients with laryngeal neoplasm. Here, we aim to compare GVL and MDL for the intubation of laryngeal neoplasm patients. Methods: One hundred ninety-six American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA...

Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign vascular smooth muscle tumor that arise from the tunica media of veins and arteries. Here a case of laryngeal angioleiomyoma in a 57-year-old Chinese man is reported. The patient presented with dysphagia for one and half-month and dyspnea during the previous one week, was hospitalized for treatment with a tracheotomy and laryngofissure with the unblock mass excis...

The CO2 laser surgery represents a treatment method of laryngeal bicordal and anterior commissure glottic cancer T1b, T2, N0. In Department of ENT, Timisoara, Romania, during 1.01.2001-31.12.2011 were analyzed 781 files from patients with laryngeal neoplasm.

The most common malignant neoplasm of the head and neck region is laryngeal cancerwhich presents a significant international health problem. The present study aims to screenpotential proteins related to laryngeal cancer by network analysis to further understandingdisease pathogenesis and biomarker discovery. Differentially expressed proteins were extractedfrom literatures of laryngeal cancer th...

A singularly long-surviving (15 years) disease-free case of a stage II adenosquamous carcinoma of the larynx is described. A review of the literature reveals that prognosis of this aggressive malignant neoplasm is poor (mean 2-3 years free of disease) on account of local recurrences, early cervical lymph node metastasis and distant dissemination. This long survival rate emphasises the importanc...

Diagnosis and treatment of the immobile or hypomobile vocal fold are challenging for the otolaryngologist. True paralysis and paresis result from vocal fold denervation secondary to injury to the laryngeal or vagus nerve. Vocal fold paresis or paralysis may be unilateral or bilateral, central or peripheral, and it may involve the recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve, or both. The...
